Progress at the break:
Have 7270 after the addon + both rebuys. Have been up and down during the first hour having put pressure on a player who rivered the flush so I lost the 1st addon there. Added the 2nd addon when down to 7BB and split the pot with another player having AA55x and ran AJ into AQ blind on blind 3 hands before the break.


I am enjoying the game as a whole and using a freeroll to vent my anger on Smile

Just gone out in 69th (50 get paid) with 88 when I got under 10 BB against AQ from the guy on the button. Felt that I had played well all game but couldn't avoid the cards (had I won the hand) I felt I had a shot at cashing tonight.

Oh well but thanks for the oppurtunity im101.

i kept popping in watching bits and thought you played very well from what i see,

i did see you go very unlucky both to run into the button actually having a hand and the  turn hitting for him but it was right move,i'd have done same

i'll be happy to do same again if you fancy another shot at it

ssestig1989 did the staking change your game at all? I have had a mate want to stake me to a big buyin tourney but couldn't do it, it didn't  feel right as he would feel the loss if that's what happened.
 I'm wondering if it played on your mind on every decision? or tough ones? on the bubble etc or did it give you a sense of added freedom given that you had none of your own money on the line?

Also Im101 is it just as exciting watching a horse play as playing yourself? does it stress you out watching a staked player play a hand differently to how you would have played it? Is the thrill of the win as high if it is a staked player or higher?

Thanks guys it's an area most of us will never experience so your words of wisdom could/should help us appreciate the whole situation.

Cheers
